Chapter Three: Witness
Chloe was pissed. She had just spent the last 4 hours hoping that Clark would pull through for her just once. Just ONCE. But no instead she had waited until the last possible minute and had to send in a crappy paper because Clark couldn't remember a deadline. Now she just wanted a cup of coffee and maybe she could calm down a little before she had to see him. Walking through the doors Chloe only glanced up when she got closer to the counter. Spying Lana and Clark giving each other puppy dog eyes she shook her head and screamed silently. 'Of course he's with her. Of course he blew me off for a stupid riding lesson.' Chloe walks closer and tries to control her anger. She really doesn't need to burst out the fire eyes in public over this crap.
"Clark, what happened to you?" Chloe asks him as she slams down her bag on the counter. When he just looks at her confused she gets angrier. "Story deadline…" 'Still the dumb as a doorknob look. Really?' "…stop me when I'm getting warm." 'Oh now he remembers! Jerk!'
"My article about the debate team. Oh, Chloe, I'm really sorry." Clark turned to look at Lana.
'Yeah so sorry you can't tear your eyes away from Lana for a full minute to actually apologize with meaning. At least she looks slightly guilty.'
"I got caught up helping Lana. I'll give it to you first thing tomorrow morning."
'Does he not know what a deadline is? I'm sure he does since he's getting straight A's.' "Well, unfortunately Clark, I needed it tonight. To fill in the hole, I had to blow up the lunch menu to a 60-point type. I'm sure the student body is going to find that fascinating."
Lana looks guiltily between the two. "Chloe, it's my fault. I asked Clark to help me."
Chloe glares at Clark even as she speaks to Lana. "No, Lana, I don't blame you." 'Maybe a little but it's not really your fault Clark is such a crappy friend to me. What does it matter that one word from you makes him forget about anything or anyone else.'
"Well, um, I'm going to go lock up in the back. Thanks again for your help."
Clark turns and smiles at Lana like nothing's wrong. "Yeah." When he turns back to Chloe he shifts uncomfortably. "Chloe, I'll make it up to you. I promise."
'Oh he'll make it up to me he promises.' Chloe can't help shaking her head fighting back a bitter laugh. "I can't say that makes me feel any better. Given your previous track record on promises..."
"It's one story. What's the big deal?"
"That you couldn't give up *one* riding practice to do."
"Don't make this about Lana."
"I'm not. This is about *you*, and your perennial inability to be there when I need you." Chloe had to fight off the heat vision again.
"Whoa, don't you think you're being a little harsh?"
"No. I don't. I'm never a priority in your life. I'm always just your back-up plan, and I'm tired of it."
"That's ridiculous."
"Is it?"
"Chloe, if that's the way you feel, then maybe I should quit."
"Maybe you should." They just stare at each other for a few seconds. 'Please don't do it. Don't prove me right again. Please don't do it Clark.'
"Fine. I quit." Clark turns and walks out leaving Chloe stunned.
'He actually did it. I can't believe I mean so little to him. Oh god.' Chloe leans against the counter and hides her face in her hands both to fight off the mounting heat vision and the burning tears. 'Was this the big bad? My friendship with Clark finally ending or is there more to come.' Chloe lets out a sad sigh. 'Please let this be it. I don't think I can handle anything else right now.'
Chloe entered the Torch and was a little surprised to see Clark standing there with Pete. "I thought you quit the Torch?"
"Just cleaning out my desk."
Pete looks surprised by this. "Wait a minute. You quit?"
Clark glances at Chloe before answering. "Apparently I can't be counted on."
Chloe rolls her eyes and walks over to her desk. 'Yeah because I really can't count on you. I can't believe he's acting like he's the victim here.'
'Who's acting like the victim?' Jacob asks.
'Clark who else.'
"I didn't even know quitting was an option."
'Great joke, Pete. Not.' Chloe walks by Pete slightly glaring at him. "Funny."
Clark just takes a deep breath and shifts uncomfortably as Pete glances over his shoulder at Chloe.
"Tough crowd. Hey, I'll catch up with you later. Keep me posted on Eric."
"Yeah."
Pete walks out, smiling as he passes Chloe, who is taking her coat off at her desk. 'Least I can still count on Pete.'
'You can count on me too, ya know. Tell me how this showdown turns out. I'm late for class. Good luck.'
'Thanks.' Chloe puts her coat over the back of her chair, then walks over and examines the story Pete and Clark were discussing.
"Marsh? Why are you guys interested in him?"
"Doesn't matter."
Clark goes back to gathering his things and putting them in a box on his desk, refusing to meet Chloe's eyes. Chloe walks over to stand in front of him. 'Why does he keep shutting me out? Does our friendship mean nothing to him?'
"Clark, I didn't ask you to quit the Torch."
"Yeah, but all I do is disappoint you."
Clark walks past Chloe to the other side of the office, removing some things from another table.
"I didn't say that. I just said it seems like you drop everything for Lana with no regard for anyone else."
Clark walks back to his desk and puts the items he's carrying inside the box.
"I thought this wasn't about Lana."
"It's not. It's not."
"Then why is it, every time you see us together, you look at me like I'm cheating on you?"
'I don't look like at them like that. Besides the last few times I've seen them together is after he's ditched me for her.' Chloe is a bit taken aback by Clark's words. "Well, I'm sorry Clark, but you're wrong, and if that's the way you feel, maybe we shouldn't hang out anymore."
Clark just stares at Chloe, his expression a mix of anger, hurt, and disbelief. He doesn't say anything, but instead just picks up the box of his belongings and walks out of the Torch office. Chloe watches him go, also angry and hurt, and walks quickly back to her desk as Clark leaves.
'He won't even fight for our friendship. I guess I don't really mean anything to him.' Chloe fights back tears successfully. 'Yeah I seriously doubt I'm going to get anymore work done today. Might as well head home.' Grabbing her things she exits the school and heads home to finish up her schoolwork in peace, since Lana's working late and her Dad is out of town at a conference. Emotionally drained, Chloe barely finishes her homework before falling asleep. Not even waking up to talk to Jacob.
The next morning Chloe is still thinking about the fight with Clark the day before as she drives Lana to school. The entire time she has barely said a word and it's when her red Volkswagen Bug comes to a stop at a traffic light that Lana finally confronts her.
"OK, the only time you're ever this quiet is when you're sleeping. What's up?"
"Clark and I decided to... put our friendship on an indefinite hiatus."
"Over one newspaper story?"
'The newspaper story, his lack of respect for me, his lack of trust, his constant ditching just to help you do menial things.' Chloe shrugs trying to let the anger and hurt go. "Let's just say that certain insurmountable forces finally made us raise the white flag.
"I'm sorry. If there's anything I can do to help..."
Chloe nods, and then turns her attention back to the traffic light. 'You could stop playing Miss Innocent and Defenseless. Stop asking Clark to help with every little thing. Ok stop Chloe you're not really angry with Lana. It's Clark you're upset with.' Chloe glances over and sees what Lana is staring at.
"Who is that?"
"Jennifer Small."
They watch as Jennifer begins to cross the street in front of Chloe's car. Jennifer glances over and sees Lana staring at her, and her step falters a bit as she realizes Lana has seen the entire exchange with the man. Jennifer doesn't say anything, however, but continues to cross the street as Lana watches with concern. 'Yeah she didn't act guilty at all.' Chloe thinks with a mental sarcastic laugh.
Chloe drops Lana off at the school before heading over to the Smallville Medical Center. Now's a good a time as any to get an interview with the driver. Moving down the hallway it only takes her a few minutes to find the right room by unfortunately he's unconscious. 'Well at least I can get a photo.' Quickly pulling out her digital camera she snaps a shot. "So much for an interview."
"I admire your dedication."
'Holy crap it's Lionel Luther. Now that's not creepy at all his sitting in the dark.' Chloe thinks after jumping at his voice.
"Though I suspect the hospital might not be quite so, uh... Understanding."
Lionel pulls a pen from his pocket and stands up.
"Mr. Luthor, what are you doing here?"
"Paying a bedside visit to a loyal employee. It's Miss Sullivan, isn't it?"
"You know who I am?" 'How does he know who I am?'
"I've been following your work at the Torch for quite some time. Given today's front-page scoop, I assume you came, uh, hoping Mr. O'Conner would confirm his, uh... connection with LuthorCorp."
Lionel smiles wolfishly at Chloe. 'God I hope he's just trying to intimidate me and is not hitting on me.'
"Well, I think you just did that for him."
Lionel glances at Chloe, and then moves to the bedside table, placing a small handwritten card on it.
"It was never a secret."
With that, Lionel smiles slightly at Chloe, and leaves the room. Chloe quickly gives chase, calling out to him as she follows him from the room. "Unlike the now missing contents of your truck?"
Lionel stops and turns back toward Chloe, slightly amused.
"On or off the record?"
"The police report says robbery, but no one's been able to find anything that's been taken."
"We were moving some industrial material. It was nothing important."
Lionel begins walking down the hall, and Chloe follows. 'Industrial material my ass.' "Somebody sure went to a lot of trouble to get to it."
"Oh, it's a competitive world. You know that as well as I do. Corporate sabotage is just one of the, uh, costs of doing business."
Lionel stops and turns to Chloe.
"Mr. Luthor..."
"Miss Sullivan, I admire your zeal. And your work at the Torch is exemplary, but trust me. You're looking for a mystery where there's none to be found."
Lionel turns and heads for the elevators. Chloe watches him leave. 'Yeah no mystery whatsoever.' Looking at her watch she realizes she's going to miss her first class if she doesn't hurry. Chloe speeds to the High School and plans a quick stop at the Torch to drop off her bag. As she enters the room she is shocked and devastated to see it completely ruined. It's like someone took a wrecking ball to the room. The support beam is nearly broken in half, there's a pair of scissors sticking out of a computer, a 3 ft hole in the wall and her wall of weird is trashed. Chloe can barely stop the tears from falling and it's at this moment that Clark enters the room behind her.
"Chloe, what happened?"
'What Happened! Really? My life has been destroyed and all he can ask is what happened?' Fighting back the tears, Chloe grits out. "Go away, Clark."
"Are you okay?"
'Do you even know me at all?' Clark walks inside and stands right behind Chloe, but she can't face him. "Physically, yeah, I'm fine. Emotionally... What do you care?"
"I want to help. No matter what it takes, we'll get the Torch back on its feet."
Chloe whirls around, her voice raised and breaking with emotion as the tears start to fall. "There is no *we* anymore Clark! There's only me! And this paper was my whole life! It was the one place I could come to when everyone and everything let me down, and now, I don't even have that anymore."
Crying openly, Chloe begins to walk swiftly toward the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To find a friend."
Chloe walks out in the hallway, wiping at her tears. Clark runs out of the Torch after her. Chloe runs outside and all she can think of is that she needs Jacob. Without a thought to why, Chloe begins to run thinking of Jacob the entire time. Before she realizes it she's standing outside his house in La Push, Washington. Shocked and scared she leans against a tree and mentally calls for Jacob. 'Jake! I need you. I don't know how but I'm outside your house and I just… I need you, please.'
Collapsing to the ground, Chloe lets her tears flow and within seconds Jacob is beside her holding her in a tight hug. Chloe wraps her arms around him and they keep hugging until her tears finally stop a good five minutes later. 'What happened Chloe? What made you so upset?'
Unable to speak Chloe opens her memories to Jacob so that he sees the last confrontation with Clark, the Torch destroyed and her conversation with Clark and her memory of how she got to La Push.
"I'm sorry about the Torch Chloe. I know how much it means to you. But you know you still have me. You'll always have me." Jacob said as he wiped away her tears. "So do I ask my Dad if you can move in or if you can stay just for the summer?"
Chloe gave a half-hearted laugh. "You just don't give up do you? Even if I do move here I'd probably go to school in Forks. So why are you pushing it so much?"
"Honestly? It hurts me when you are hurting Chloe. I think you need to get away from the whole Clark and Lana drama. And I have been missing my best friend." Jacob said giving her a squeeze. "Why would you go to school in Forks anyway?"
"I may love you cuz but to live with you, hang out with and go to school with you on top of our mind meld, that's just too much. Besides I may be 1/4 Quileute but I sure do not look it." Chloe said with a laugh as she pointed to her blonde hair. After a minute of silence Chloe sighed and quietly said, "Ask Uncle Billy both. See how he'd feel about me staying here and going to school and about me just visiting for the summer. I'll talk to my dad and we'll see. Spring break's coming up so if I move it'll be then. I'll look into transferring and I'll really think about it ok?"
"Sounds like a plan. You gonna come inside with me or you gonna book it for Smallville?" Jacob asked as he helped her up.
"I don't know. I mean I know Uncle Billy is cool with our mind meld thing, but how would he react to the other abilities."
"Chloe, you know dad's cool with anything. I mean he knew about our mom's being empathic and was cool with it. He was cool when you, Rachel and Rebecca turned out to be empathic. And you know he's cool with our weird mind meld. What would make these abilities any different?"
"Umm, well the fact that I got them from an alien? I can't exactly tell him how I got them. I mean I tell you everything but I can't tell anyone Clark's secret. How do I explain my abilities if I have to leave that part out?"
"Chloe you're over thinking again. When has my dad ever not been cool? You know he won't pry unless he thinks you've done something wrong or are in trouble." Jacob started pulling her towards the house. "Come on let's go in the house and just relax. We don't have to tell my dad anything right now."
"Except explain how I got here from Kansas on foot." Chloe pointed out as they walked inside. "I'll tell him about my abilities and blame it on the weirdness of Smallville. He should know everything before he decides on letting me stay. And like you said he should be cool with it."
"Who should be cool with what? Jake I thought you were going to leave for school? Who's that with you?" Billy Black asked as he wheeled into the living room.
"Hey Uncle Billy." Chloe greeted him shyly.
"Chloe girl, what are you doing here?" Billy took a closer look at his niece and saw the tear stains on her face. He moved closer and pulled her onto his lap for a big hug. "What's the matter baby girl?"
Chloe collapsed into tears again for a few minutes before pulling back and giving a hesitant laugh. "Oh god where to begin." She wiped away her tears and took a shuddering breath. "My Torch was completely destroyed today. I'm living with the competition for the heart of the guy I used to, maybe still do, love. I've ended my friendship with Clark and feel like I'm losing Pete too. One of my kinda friends is marrying a gold-digging witch who was hired by his dad to spy to him. And I've started developing…interesting abilities."
"Wow. I'm so sorry about the Torch Chloe. I know how much it means to you." Billy hugged Chloe again before she got off his lap and moved to the couch to sit next to Jacob. "I just made a batch of coffee let me get you some before we talk more."
'See told you my dad would be cool.' Jacob said holding Chloe's hand.
"Yeah yeah, I'm going to go wash my face. I'll be right back." Chloe responded aloud feeling slightly better.
By the time she got back a hot cup of coffee and a warmed up muffin were sitting on the coffee table waiting for her. "Thanks Uncle Billy." She reached for the coffee first and after the first sip let out a long sigh.
"Ok girly, tell me about these abilities you've been developing." Billy said lightly.
"Well, ever since I blacked out in the caves I've felt different. I mean not just my body but my mind too. I read a lot faster, like a couple thousand words a second and I remember all of it. I think I'm smarter too."
"You're already a genius how can you possibly get smarter?" Billy joked.
"Thanks, but I am somehow. I've noticed that my senses are way beyond perfect and since the cave thing every few days I wake up with a new ability. One morning I woke up on the ceiling. I can float or hover or fly, whatever you want to call it, if I concentrate. Then a few days later I had a …dream and when I woke up I lit the ceiling on fire. And today I was running away from Clark and the destroyed Torch thinking about needing Jacob and when I stopped running I was here. Oh and you know how I had to have surgery to remove that parasite thingy from my neck a few weeks ago. I was completely healed in like 6 hours. Not even a scar. And supposedly I wasn't supposed to remember anything from when I acted all crazy. My friend Pete didn't but I remember everything, unfortunately."
"Calm down, Chloe you're winding yourself up." Jacob laughed as he watched Chloe get more and more excited as she spoke.
"I'd probably be a little wound up if I were in her shoes." Billy laughed. "I mean these aren't little things to deal with. Abilities aside what you're dealing with is enough to make a person want to go mad. Although from the sounds of it you have the abilities under control. I mean you do don't you?"
"Yeah I guess I do. The first day is the hardest especially with the fire from the eyes one. Course Clark being a total jerk that day didn't help. I haven't had any accidents so far, well except for setting the ceiling on fire. But the whole floating thing helped me get up there to clean up the mess." Chloe said with a laugh. "The floating is really pretty cool but I could do without the fire one."
"Yeah that might take some getting used to, but it might be useful too. Just think, we won't have to bring matches for our next camping trip." Billy joked.
"Ha ha ha, you're hilarious Uncle Billy." Chloe tried not to smile but couldn't hold back. Somehow her Uncle could always put a smile on her face and help her forget her worries a little. "I wish things could be this easy going at home. I like Smallville but everything just seems to be falling apart."
"Chloe girl you know you're welcome here anytime you want. Jacob's been hinting about maybe you coming to live here. I'd love to have you and we both know Jacob would love having you here. It has been kinda lonely since Rachel and Rebecca went off to college." Billy moved closer and grabbed Chloe's hand. "If you aren't happy in Smallville then you don't have to stay there. You don't have to come here either though if you don't want to, I'm sure the General would love to have you too."
"I would really love to come live here Uncle Billy, it's just…I don't know about leaving Dad. I mean I'm the one who invited Lana to live with us and if I leave I'm putting him alone with her, and he can barely stand her neediness and whining as it is now."
"I talked to Gabe just the other day and he's noticed how upset you were. Jacob's not the only one who thinks you should get out of Smallville. He asked me if it would be possible for you to live here, if you wanted too. He knows you love him but he wants you happy and you're not."
'I have the best family ever.' Chloe thought with a smile even as she cried lightly. "I'll think about it and talk with Dad tomorrow."
"Think about telling him about your abilities too. I mean I know he's not as cool as I am, who is really, but he already knows you're empathic and he's fine with it. He knows about the mind thing with you and Jacob and he's fine with it too."
"Yeah and it might help explain why you weren't at school and how you ended up with us here. Besides if you move here and tell him about the running you could visit him on weekends no problem." Jacob added.
"Thank you for being so understanding Uncle Billy." Chloe gave them a weak smile and stood up. "Suddenly I'm exhausted. Can I go lay down for a while? It's been a very emotionally exhausting day."
"Of course, I'll be here if you need me." Billy said giving her another hug.
'I'm here if you need me too.' Jacob told her.
'I know.' Chloe called back as she left the room. Chloe crawled onto the queen sized bed in what used to be Rachel and Rebecca's room. Pulling the covers up, she lay her head on the pillow and closed her eyes. She thought about the Torch, her friendship with Clark, her semi-friendships with Lana and Lex, the new abilities and knowledge, her life in Smallville and her life before moving there. As both the good and bad memories filled her mind tears started falling down her cheeks. She felt overwhelmed and saddened by the path her life was taking, the path she was letting her life take. Sighing she realized that staying in Smallville would be a mistake. She was unhappy there not just because of other people but because of the choices she had made. She hadn't stood up to Clark earlier and called him on his hypocrisy and mistreatment of their friendship because she was afraid to lose it. She hadn't stopped Pete and Clark from taking her for granted or using her. She had let Lana move in and put up with the constant complaints and whining. Chloe realized that even though she loved each of her friends she hadn't been true to herself. And even with all her complaints about Clark, Lana and Pete she would miss them. Pete could make her laugh and just enjoy herself, was her shoulder to cry or lean on when Clark blew her off. Lana was the first girly girl friend she had had, who had kind of turned into an almost sister. Clark was always there saving the day, even when she feared he would be too busy with Lana he turned up at the last minute to save her. And then there was Lex her verbal judo partner. When Pete, Clark and Lana were too busy for her Lex wasn't. They had struck up an odd friendship after the window incident. She didn't judge him and he didn't judge her.
Wiping away her tears, Chloe finally reached the decision she had been leaning towards for days. 'Jacob.'
'Yeah Chloe.' Jacob responded climbing onto the bed behind her and wrapping her in a hug.
'If my dad agrees, I'm gonna move here during spring break. I'm going to tell him about my abilities too.' Chloe told him as she hugged him back and started drifting off to sleep.
'I'm happy you're moving here Chloe. But I'm sorry if I pushed you too hard. Dad made me realize that I might have been being a little selfish by constantly suggesting you move here.'
'You didn't push too hard, just kept reminding me of my options. Besides no reason to say this move will be permanent. I might end up convincing you to finish our senior year in Smallville.' Chloe laughed as she patted Jacob's hand. "Now shush I'm trying to sleep here."
Chloe slept until early evening. When she woke up she hugged both her Uncle and cousin goodbye before running back home, after a few false starts. Luckily Lana wasn't home yet and Gabe was fixing dinner. "Hey Dad I'm home."
"I didn't hear you pull up. Where's your car?" Gabe asked as he gave her a hug. "Your Uncle Billy called today, said you needed to talk to me about something. Did you call him earlier?"
"Oh well…I do need to tell you something and it kinda explains about my car and me forgetting it at school." Chloe said as she quickly jumped into helping her father make dinner. "It's important and kinda sensitive. Where's Lana?"
"Lana's working late tonight, she called to say she'd be closing up." Gabe turned off the stove and began dishing up the plates.
Chloe quickly helped him set the table. "Good because I need to talk to you and it's very private. But it can wait until we're done eating."
About 10 minutes into dinner Gabe couldn't take the tense silence anymore. He could tell something was on Chloe's mind but had no clue what it was. She had been sitting there absentmindedly eating her food with a look of almost dread on her face. "Alright Chloe spit it out. What's got you so worried?"
"I really don't know where to start Dad."
"Well, start at the beginning. The first thing that's important."
"Honestly it's not just one thing. There's the Clark situation, the Torch being destroyed, my new abilities and my wanting to move to Washington." Chloe sighed.
"Ok….well…I know almost all about the Clark situation and Lana told me about the Torch. I'm sorry about that honey I know how much you love that. And if you want to move to Washington I've already talked to your Uncle Billy about it. I mean I'll miss you everyday but I know you haven't been happy here and you always light up when you're around Jacob. Even though it'll leave me alone here with Lana I can deal with her for the rest of the school year and she can find a new place to live before the next school year starts." Gabe takes a deep breath and continues. "So, all that leaves for you to tell me about are your new abilities. Are they Smallville meteor abilities or something related to your empathic/mind link ability?"
"Well they're not exactly meteor related but they are defiantly Smallville abilities and not my empathic abilities. Before I tell you, you have to promise not to tell ANYONE or freak out." Chloe said biting her lip.
"I promise I won't tell anyone or freak out. You can tell me anything Chloe."
"I know that Dad, it's just not all my secret." Taking a deep breath she told her Dad all about the caves, finding out Clark was an alien, the weird light thing that happened in the cave, the abilities she woke up with and finally where she was that afternoon. "Discovering this latest ability has kinda sealed my decision to move to La Push. I would miss you but I can be back here in minutes so I wouldn't really be missing you. And I want to move during Spring Break."
Gabe sits there stunned for a minute as his hand absentmindedly grabbing hold of Chloe's. "Ok….alright…Ok so I'll call your Uncle Billy and have him set up with the school in La Push for you to transfer in and I'll call the school here tomorrow."
"Great. But not the La Push School. I want to go to the Forks High School." Chloe got up and threw herself into her father's arms. "Thank you Daddy! I really don't want to leave you but I can't stay here in Smallville anymore."
"I know honey, to be honest I asked your Uncles a week ago if they would be open to you staying with one of them. You haven't been happy lately and we all just want you happy." Gabe said returning her hug. "And even though I'll miss you tons, it won't be that bad."
"It won't be that bad..hehe….Oh daddy." Chloe laughed. "Are you forgetting that with me moving during spring break you are going to be left alone, with no buffer between you and LANA! Three months at least of her and her issues. But I promise to come home at least once a week to steal you away from her neediness."
"I can handle Lana. She may be needy and she has her issues but I've been raising you! Not to be mean but she's like a puppy compared to you. Plus she's always out at the Talon or getting into trouble and then managing to escape it." Gabe said laughing. "Besides there's still three weeks until Spring Break. I've got time to adjust to the whole thing actually happening."
"Thank you Daddy. I'm gonna put these away and head up to bed." Chloe hugged her father tightly for a moment. "I love you daddy. You are the best."
Chloe clears off her plate and brings a few of the food dishes into the kitchen. Quickly putting the dishes and food away she heads upstairs and gets ready for bed. Jacob is trying to reach out to her so as she lays down and pulls the covers up Chloe opens up their connection. 'I'm moving there in 3 weeks and Dad was so understanding.'
'We told you it'd all work out didn't we? I can't wait for you to get here! It's going to be awesome.' Chloe could feel the waves of excitement coming from Jacob making her smile. 'I'm gonna let you get some sleep but I just want to say I'm glad you're coming to live here and I know you'll have an awesome time and be happy here.'
'Thanks Jacob. Goodnight, love you and I'll be seeing you soon.'
AN: Hey everyone thanks for reading my story. I haven't been able to access my laptop or the internet really to keep writing and updating. But I do have part two ready to be posted. Please read and review. Review's are very motivating.
